Sonny's real pit bar-b-q came to our local area a couple of years ago. Prior to that we used to go to Clearwater. Always had good food at that one.

Our first experience with the one in New Port Richey, was great. We went with...

Cons: Prices going up, but tell me something besides the financial market that isn't going up!

We couldn't wait to sink our teeth into hot barbequed ribs and chicken. It sounded great.
